Special Eurobarometer 409: Climate change

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the modern age. As Europe takes action to meet its objectives, it is important to understand the attitudes and behaviour of EU citizens towards climate change and their expectations for the future. This Eurobarometer survey measures these and compares them with the last poll on this issue carried out in 2011. As Europe takes action to meet the objectives of preventing and minimising the impact of climate change, it is important to understand the attitudes and behaviour of the EU - Perceptions of climate change in relation to other world problems - Perceptions of the seriousness of climate change - Opinions on who within the EU is responsible for tackling climate change - Whether they agree or disagree that fighting climate change can boost the economy and jobs within the EU or that reducing the import of fossil fuel from outside the EU benefits the EU economy - Whether they have taken personal action to fight climate change and what actions they have taken - How important they think it is for their government to set targets to increase the amount of renewable energy by 2030 - How important they think it is for their government to provide support for improving energy efficiency #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
